There is a free bus system between remote points in Northern New Mexico, only the times they run do not work for those seeking jobs in Taos or Espanola. Consequently the state loses income they could have from those who could work but have no way of getting in at earlier times from sites like Dixon among others. The state also ends up paying more in entitlements because the people can not get jobs. Now it comes around 10 am so no one can get a job that begins earlier.

Having an educated population strengthens our economy from within, but, so many of us can't afford a college education or, once we've gotten one, can't afford to both maintain a household and make student loan payments. Many people derive no significant benefit (or none at all) from the current tax regulations because, in order to be able to afford to make loan payments and also make a living (especially in urban areas where 79% of the country lives), we can exceed the income threshold specified in the tax regulations, and lose the benefit entirely. Let's acknowledge as a nation that education, just like office supplies and fuel for our cars, is a real business expense, and allow everyone who is either attending college or repaying their student loans to take 100% of their payments as a tax deduction.

Critics of the SMART Train and Pathway want to stop the project before it begins upgrading the track to carry 80-MPH passenger trains.

We have some states started to legalize medical marijuana. We are collecting no taxes. State, local or Federal on these sales. In the Calif collectives, they are calling it a donation, with minimums, etc for what the buyer wants. The Feds still call it illegal, wasting resources on a medicine that has killed no one. No overdoses, ever. No pot driving accidents.

Deficit reduction should protect Montana's families and communities.
